I hope my questions don't sound too naive but here goes:
I am totally new to the Mercedes brand, having owned a good few reasonably powerful cars in my time, I decided to go for a 2014 C63 (451bhp).
My first question is, can I purchase a replacement grille and badge, in matt black? in fact, I fancy changing all the badging and grille to matt black.
Looking on fleabay, I can see gloss black badging but no grille.
My second question is where/how can I find out what the original build spec was? I will obviously have VIN number etc.
Thanks in advance.

Go to this website below. Yes, I know it looks a bit 'interesting' but it works.

Put in the VIN correctly or it will make you wait 160 seconds before you can try again.

The output report will also provide you with a URL (Permanent Link) you can use to call up the info whenever you want.
